I don&#8217;t have any programs for Apple and didn&#8217;t feel like waiting for them. I thought about selling it, but my parents would be upset with me. After all, this was a very expensive gift and it meant a lot to them to give to me.<\/p>\n<p>  It&#8217;s a good thing my parents don&#8217;t know anything about computers, because I&#8217;m sure they would be really angry if they knew what I did.
